Whether you work with a team of writers or on your own, it’s a good idea to keep track of your documentation procedures and style guides. Keeping everything in a centralized repository lets you organize internal processes and rules, and introduce new writers to the team.
Enter the Documentation Bible: a one-stop shop for procedures and style guides. Because it is written using your current authoring tool, it acts as a sandbox for new writers to learn procedures while editing topics. However, it isn’t just for training writers; it is a useful reference for the entire team.
In this webinar, MadCap Software Senior Technical Writer Kate Schneider will show you how to create and maintain a Documentation Bible, and use it as a training tool. This webinar was adapted from a presentation originally presented during MadWorld 2016.
